TARIK SKUBAL NEWS

Folds against Cards Skubal (1-2) took the loss in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, surrendering six runs on three hits and four walks over two-plus innings. He struck o...

Impact The young southpaw unraveled in the third inning, as the first four batters he faced all reached base and Joe Jimenez then allowed all his inherited runners to score after Skubal got the hook. Skubal's ERA jumped over two and a half runs as a result of the debacle, and he'll carry a 7.27 mark with a 17:8 K:BB through 17.1 big-league innings into his next outing Wednesday, at home against the Royals.

Pitches well in no-decision Skubal pitched six innings of one-run ball but did not factor into the decision in Saturday's loss to the Twins. He allowed just two hits and two walks, while striking out six.

Impact Skubal has shown improvement in each one of his four MLB starts. Over his past two outings, the lefty has limited a strong Minnesota lineup to three runs across 11 innings, and Saturday marked his first quality start as a big leaguer. The six strikeouts were also a new career best for Skubal. The 23-year-old will look to build on this positive outing his next time out, which is slated to come during a doubleheader Thursday against the Cardinals.

Earns first MLB win Skubal (1-1) allowed two runs over five innings to earn the win in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Twins. He gave up three hits and no walks while striking out two.

Impact Skubal earned his first MLB win in his third start, and it was easily the young lefty's best performance to date. He had allowed five runs on 10 hits across 4.1 innings coming into Saturday's contest, but he was able to cut down on the number of baserunners he allowed, and he did so against a strong Minnesota lineup. Skubal now has a 6.75 ERA and is scheduled to make his next start Friday against the Twins again.

Twin bill rained out Skubal won't start as scheduled Friday as the doubleheader against the Twins was postponed due to weather, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact The start of Game 1 had already been delayed, and the prospects of playing for the rest of the day weren't promising, leading to the postponement. A doubleheader will now be scheduled for Saturday, and Skubal will start Game 2, while Matthew Boyd starts in the matinee.

Starting Friday's matinee Skubal will start Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Twins, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 23-year-old was originally slated to start Game 2, but the Tigers decided to make a late change to their rotation plans. Skubal has covered 4.1 innings over his first two starts, allowing five runs on 10 hits with a 6:2 K:BB.

Strikes out five in second start Skubal allowed one earned run on three hits and a walk across 2.1 innings in a no-decision against Cleveland Sunday. He struck out five.

Impact Skubal looked better than he did in his first MLB start, when he was tagged for four runs on seven hits across two innings of work. The lefty still wasn't allowed to go very deep into the game, as the team pulled him after he tossed 69 pitches. Skubal is considered a solid prospect, so Detroit will likely keep him in the rotation moving forward and possibly ramp up his pitch count to build him up for 2021 and beyond. The rookie is lined up to face a strong Minnesota lineup on Friday in his next scheduled start.
